How to Sow Seeds

Growing notes: You can sow our Beneficial Insect Mix almost year-round, avoiding the hottest and coldest months. The seeds can be scattered thinly or sown in the flowering position. Cover lightly with a seed-raising mix, firm down, and keep moist. Thin out as necessary. Choose a well-drained soil and a sunny position.

Flowers will appear after 8-14 weeks and continue over many months.
